Tips For Holiday Road Trips

Holidays are all the more fun, especially if you go on an extended
road trip with your family and friends. You can visit some wonderful places and
get the much-deserved rest that you craved for. The icing on the cake is when
you get to try out your new car and its amazing features!

Here are some holiday survival tips
that will help you:

All-in-one car
emergency kit

The terms first aid kit and emergency kit is often
used interchangeably, but they are not same. First aid kit is just one part of
the emergency kit, which should also contain jumper cables, flashlight, batteries, etc. Auto supplies
store carry ready-made ones, so make sure you purchase one before leaving.

De-icing
spray/washer fluid

De-icing spray doesn't cost much and is
easily available at most hardware stores. Just spray on the windows so the ice
melts. Alternatively, you can also fill up your car with washer fluid
specifically designed for freezing temperatures. As you drive, the liquid is
sprayed on the windshield to melt the ice and snow.

Kitty litter

Getting stuck in ice or snow isn't an ideal
scenario, but it can happen, so you need to be prepared in advance. Lay down the kitty litter in front of the wheels if you have
front - wheel drive or behind the tires if you have rear-wheel drive - it
provides you with sufficient traction so you can move ahead.

Portable backup
battery

iPads and smartphones are necessities
during such trips - apart from helping you pass time, they can be used to call
for help in case the situation arises. It is always better to take a portable
backup battery (charge it fully before leaving), which has the power to charge
other devices on the road. Solar chargers are also a good option.

Emergency supplies

Getting stranded in the middle of nowhere isn't a
pleasant thought, but what if your car breaks down? You can be stuck for hours
without proper supplies, which is why you should pack blankets and flares. For
extreme situations, get a
hand-cranked radio and smartphone charger to make emergency calls.

Arranging for these items is a smart
and practical choice, as it
is always better to be prepared for contingencies rather than lamenting about
"what ifs" later on. Holidays should be enjoyable, so spending hours on the
road or getting stuck in the snow, can easily put a damper on the mood.
